Y'know how the second period of a hockey game is often referred to as the "sandwich stanza," because it's the period in-between two other periods? Well, tonight's game is the sandwich game of the annual pre-season three-games-in-three-nights stretch for the Calgary Flames.
In-between last night's trip to Denver and tomorrow's trip to Vancouver, the Flames host the Canucks in a pre-season affair at the Scotiabank Saddledome. After last night's 1-0 squeaker in the Mile High City, the Flames are probably hoping for another strong goaltending performance...and a lot more scoring.
The game goes at 7pm MT live from the 'Dome, and can be seen remotely on Sportsnet One and heard on Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
